Prize Winner is official

Don has won 3 all inclusive days in Capaddocia, Turkey courtesy of Goreme Balloons and Travellerspoint. Don was selected as the winner of our inaugural member prize after we made a list of about 5 members who have been most active on this site. Don has been particularly busy as a Travel Helper, answering many questions for numerous countries and helping out a ton of people in the process.

We put our five top users in a hat (at least, I think it was a hat - Sam did this part) and drew his name. The prize includes 3 days accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner, a free balloon flight and 250 EUR spending money that we decided to throw in as well.

Congratulations again Don and we look forward to hearing on the progress of the planning and how the trip works out. Be sure to send some photos in for the rest of us to enjoy

For those who didn't win, don't despair; we will come up with another prize soon and start making this a habit!

Cheers,Peter

Just wanted to throw in my official Congrats via the forum as well Don. Thanks for all your help to travellers as a Travel helper... if I don't have it wrong Don is a travel helper for 22 destinations; great stuff!

Thanks to all the other members that have been in the running for this trip as well - basically everyone that has been involved on the forums, as a travel helper, submitting photos etc. Maybe next time the prize will be yours!!! We are hoping to keep this up, making the prizes bigger and better as we go along...

Pete and me are the admins, hence our forum titles Contributors, well that is basically everyone contributing so it could be any member in a variety of different ways. But I guess you meant with regards to the prize and in this case the prize was sponsored by Goreme Balloons in Turkey. Travellerspoint did add some extra spending money but the balloon flight, tours and accommodation was arranged in Turkey.
